Bulk Operations

Execute multiple SCIM create, update, patch, and delete operations in a single HTTP request (RFC 7644 §3.7). Bulk operations reduce round trips and enable atomic provisioning of related resources. The server advertises its bulk capabilities (maxOperations, maxPayloadSize) via the ServiceProviderConfig endpoint.
